Ina Garten's Friend Tr Novels & Stories

Not after everything. “Why do you even want to be friends with me?” I asked, narrowing my eyes slightly. “Isn’t your life already full of people?” “People who want something from me,” he replied. “But you? You didn’t even want to give me your number. That says a lot.” I frowned a little, unsure how to take that. Just then, Gina came back with a small tray filled with drinks and snacks. “I got us fries and some meat pies! You’re going to love them.”

From the looks of things so far everything was going smoothly but I still couldn't shake the intense feeling of loss, I still felt like I was forgetting something very important. “Your friend, Avery was it?” I asked Angie as we came down from the car. “Yes, Avery,” Angie said, giving me a suspicious look. “Tell me about her,” I asked, feeling a need to know more about the lady I seemed to have a deep longing for. “I don't know too much, I know she is a Gamma and an orphan. She works to support herself, money is kind of tight.” She said carelessly, I could tell she wasn't saying everything but it didn't matter, I had my ways.

Terri said, "Follow me over to the railing and I'll introduce you to the people planting the new garden." When they were standing next to the railing Terri got the attention of everyone saying, "I'd like to introduce you to some friends of mine. Jeff, Tina over there is Tony and his wife Patty and this is Beth over here and then last, but not least, Barbie is over there."

I dragged myself up the post onto my feet, my legs still wrong beneath me, and I watched them haul the gate wide and bring someone through it. A girl. Small and limp, soaked dark down one whole side. I knew her before they laid her in the mud. I would know her anywhere, in any light, half a breath from death. Ginni. My one friend in eight years of Silvercrest. Ginni, who had slipped me bread through the pantry grate the nights they sent me to bed hungry. Ginni, who had learned my name when no one else in that house could be troubled to, and used it like it meant something.

She then said to me, allowing me to breathe easier knowing that this wouldn’t reach Alpha Gunner, at least not from her. Trina at that moment got to her feet, and surprisingly she took me into an embrace, something I never thought she would do, as I never pinned her as a hugger. But it felt good to be embraced by someone that I knew was a friend and was doing it out of the kindness of her heart. “See you at breakfast?” She now asked me, taking my mind back to Alpha Gunner, wondering if there would even be breakfast in the morning as the kitchen staff was all now in a cell.

“No, it’s fine. I’ll be okay.” She nods, content, and for a moment the apartment feels almost sacred, like a bubble of safety we’ve built together. A quote I heard from Ginny and Georgia drifts back to me now, almost uninvited. Georgia Miller had said you can get through anything in life as long as you have one good friend. I glance at Aria, who’s still happily snacking on strawberries and watching me like she already knows what I’m thinking. And in this moment, I know she’s mine. My one good friend.

I immediately shook my head at Hermione in response. "No, she is my friend. Agatha Veltroun" I said to Hermione. I glanced at Agatha, who was looking at Hermione. "Agatha, this is Hermione Vaughn. She is a well-known fashion designer and a friend of mine." I added. Agatha smiled at Hermione and then offered a handshake to Hermione. "Nice to meet you, Hermione. I am Agatha Fleur Veltroun. Rafael's soon-to-be girlfriend." Agatha said, then shifted her eyes at me and winked.

I met your charming friend on my way to the gym, he added gesturing towards gabby who attached herself to his side like a glue. Letting herself into my apartment, gabby kicked off her shoes and sank her feet into the soft ragged ivory carpet. There was no end to her nagging, and here I am looking forward to a light meal and a few quiet hours at home after Damien’s way of making use of me. My whore of a friend is at it again, and this time , she wants me to gist her everything about my new neighbour after nagging at me for not informing her about him in the first place.

I was dying to say yes, but then I don't know what the outcome would be. “Gael? Are you okay?” “No!” I exclaimed at once. “No? What do you mean?” He asked with a slightly confused expression. “What I'm trying to say is that it wasn't Fred I went to see…" My goodness! Am I not getting myself in trouble with what I'm saying now? “What? Are you saying you have another friend besides Fred?” I swallowed hard, knowing I have to be careful with whatever I say from now on. “It's not Fred. It's actually, T... Tracy.”

She giggled grabbing my arms and turning me around to face the garden. I didn't like Trina but I needed to know what the fuck was going on, which means I would have to talk to her. “Talk to the bitch, you can't trust Trina, she isn't on our good book,” Moxilla chimed in and she was damn right, I can't go in there without some heads up on what's going on. I removed her hand from her arms and she turned around shocked. “Is there a problem?” She scoffed.
